New Deal Lets JB Smoove Create Unscripted Hits

JB Smoove has struck a fresh multi‑year agreement with Fox Entertainment Studios that gives him the first chance to greenlight unscripted projects. In this arrangement, Smoove will act as an executive producer and creative partner for a variety of shows across different formats. His own production company, Alternate Side Productions, will also take the lead on all titles produced under the deal, working alongside co‑executive producers Rick Dorfman and Miles Grose. The comedian’s background in improv and stand‑up makes him a natural fit for reality‑style programming. He first gained national attention as the quirky housemate of Larry David in “Curb Your Enthusiasm, ” a series famous for its loose, improv‑driven scripts. Smoove believes that the spontaneity of unscripted television is where true creativity thrives. “I love how nothing is pre‑planned in this format, ” Smoove said. “You can’t fake it, so you just jump in and let the moment unfold. Partnering with Fox’s team gives us room to experiment, spot real‑life humor, and deliver shows people didn’t even know they wanted. It’s going to be a blast. ”Fox’s head of unscripted programming, Allison Wallach, praised Smoove’s unique comedic voice and fearless energy. She noted that his talent for spotting fresh ideas will help the studio build a lineup that feels energetic and entertaining. Wallach also highlighted the collaborative spirit of Alternate Side Productions, which she believes will bring a fresh perspective to Fox’s offerings. Beyond “Curb Your Enthusiasm, ” Smoove has worked on projects such as “Real Husbands of Hollywood, ” “Mapleworth Murders, ” and the blockbuster film “Spider‑Man: No Way Home. ” He is managed by Authentic Talent and Literary Management, UTA, and represented legally by Roger Pliakas. This partnership signals Fox’s commitment to investing in bold, unscripted content while giving Smoove a platform to explore new creative territories.
